Ellevated Hike - Smith Ravine Long Loop

9.2 miles, 1886 ft gain

Let's try this again! Last time, we made it 3 miles in and had to turn around. We were just getting to the interesting elevation gain.

I never knew Smith Ravine was connected to other trails. I've always done it as an out & back. I want to explore the loop options from this TH. We'll go out Hoot Owl & meander back to Smith Ravine.

Ellevated hikes are very fast-paced hikes with very few breaks. They are typically 10ish miles & 1500-2000 ft gain. The pace is 3.2-3.4, and a bit slower on uphills. You can always pass on long uphills.

The free version of Meetup is sufficient to RSVP for hikes. Hikes leave on time, regardless of RSVPs, because sometimes people just plain forget.

Friendly dogs are welcome.

You are responsible for your safety, so please honor your body. That being said, we won't leave anyone in the woods.
